...The Best Soft Toys ever!! From when I was a little kid to the day I have a little kid these soft toys have always been my product of choice!! When I was small I always used to have this small little brown teddy and it cost practically nothing, I named it Eddie and had a special relation with it, later my granddad got me a £2000 teddy from Hemly’s which was huge and so overwhelming that its difficult to describe. Ive always shared special bonds with these unresponsive yet so powerful toys and wish I had some power to just get them to life. My kids now love teddy bears as much or maybe as much as I do and I’ve filled their rooms with bears, I would either recommend Toys-r-us or Hemly’s to purchase this product. Well yes, Hemley’s is a touch expensive but the variety and robustness are proportional, so worry not. Just hugging a teddy can... Read review

Advantages: Fun - Imaginative - Keeps kids amused for some time - Creative
Disadvantages: pieces in my box very thin & small - may get lost

...Oooooh yes - I forgot about that Whilst looking through a copy of Hawkins Bazaar, i came across the stocking filler page. COOL I thought as there were lots of little gifts for under a fiver. PERFECT for stocking fillers :O) I noticed the Teddy in a Box / Mini Puzzle Bear (as they call it, still exactly the same) for £1.99 BARGAIN!! As my kids would be turning one and two just after that christmas, i thought that this would be quite suitable for them. Thinking that it was not much different from their wooden lift out puzzle trays that they already had already mastered and also something a bit more fun and exciting. But I was slighty wrong ............................. :O) After receiving the item, i was slighty shocked with the size of it. Looking back in the mag, it looked a lot bigger and didnt say...

...I bought this for my youngest son when he was two years old because he liked puzzles but was too young to do a actual jigsaw. The teddy jigsaw comes in a small wooden box with a small lid that slides on the top of the box. On top of the lid there is a teddy bear shape where you can place each jigsaw piece. The jigsaw pieces are made out of wood so they dont break that easy when children chew on the pieces and if it is like my son then believe me they will chew on them. There are twelve jigsaw pieces in total which consist of four teddy bear heads,four bodies and four legs and the best part is it does not matter which head you put to which body as all the pieces are the same shape and size so it is really easy for the child to create the teddy. These jigsaws are really great fun for toddlers as well as educational because... Read review

...An arctophile is a person who collects teddy’s A teddy bear I do not know of anyone who at sometime in his or her life has not owned and loved one. Teddy bears the teddy bear is so called because Theodore Roosevelt (nickname teddy) the 26th president of America was taken on a hunt in1902 and his hosts had caught a bear cub tied it to a tree as an easy target for him. Theodore refused to shoot it and walked away ordering the bear to be released. This event was made popular by a political cartoonist who drew the bear cute and with big endearing eyes. The Teddy bear remained Roosevelt mascot for his political career. In Brooklyn Mr Mitchcom and his wife created a toy teddy bear after they had seen a report of teddy Roosevelt and the bear. They opened a toy manufacturing business the ideal novelty and toy company... Read review

...Hands up! How many of you played with teddy bears as children? Ah, nearly all hands are up. Now ´fess up, how many of you still have their teddies, either sitting on the sofa, hidden somewhere in the closet or as a part of a teddy collection? Thought so, still quite a lot of hands up. (Not mine, though, my teddy got lost when moving house yonks ago. Did I cry? You bet!). Now, no matter what your teddies look like, which size or colour they have, how much they cost, I can tell you for sure that they´re all (il)legitimate offspring of the first teddy ´born´ in Germany in 1902. HOW IT ALL BEGAN In 1847 Margarete Steiff was born in the German town Giengen in the South of Germany, about 100 km southeast of Stuttgart (and about 60 km away from the town where I live), she was taken ill with polio at the age of 1½ and spent the rest...

...I had several teddy bears as a child. My favourite (who went by the original name of 'Little Pink Teddy') was threadbare all over by the time I got married and finally tucked him away in a box out of my bed. I had several other teddies too, not so beloved, but still important to me over the years. So when I had children of my own, I naturally assumed they too would want teddy bears, and was delighted when my sister bought each of them, at birth, a rather nice honey-coloured jointed bear, about 20cm high. But of course tiny babies don't take much notice of their surroundings, and at a few months old are more interested in brightly coloured rattles than muted, soft toys. With my first son, I kept the teddy - and others that he'd been given - lined up at the end of his cot, assuming that he would want to cuddle them. But he didn... Read review

...Whether you are young or old, male or female, I bet somewhere in the attic or in your abode there is a teddy bear. So what makes us like and love Teddy Bears? Where did they originate and how much do they cost and how did they get their name? These are some of the questions that I will try and answer and I will tell you about my collection of Teddy Bears from a 37 year old! As early as 1830s The Bear became a favourite and so Goldilocks and the Three Bears was written. By the end of the 1800s a bear was shown in a catlogue but had not yet been named as The Teddy Bear. By the start of the 1900s Steiff Bear had been introduced to the world. Almost simutaneously the Americans and the Germans were producing bears. The first known bear that was named a Teddy Bear was sold in a Brooklyn shop in America. So how did he became known... Read review

...If you are a teddy bear collector like me then your hobby may be referred to as an ‘arctophily’. The word arctophily is derived from the Greek words “arctos,” which means bear and “philos,” which means love. WHY ARE THESE BEARS CALLED TEDDY BEARS? It was in November 1902 that Theodore Roosevelt (The American President) or Teddy Roosevelt as he was known to his family, took a 4 day break from politics to attend a bear hunt in Mississippi. The President was unlucky, and his only chance of a kill was a bear cornered and tied to a tree. He refused to shoot it. This incident was illustrated by a political cartoonist, Clifford K. Berryman, and through Berryman the little bear he drew came to symbolize the President. Within a year the little cartoon bear was transformed into a toy – now known as the teddy bear (named after the President... Read review
